Lu Ming opened a community seafood shop that was about to close down. The store is small and in a remote location, and its supply is often choked by upstream suppliers. The rent is due next month, and he is ready to close the shop and deliver food.
The day before closing, he rescued a small dolphin whose tail fin was entangled in a fishing line at the pier. After the little dolphin recovered from his injury, he seemed to have misunderstood his occupation and began to deliver "goods" to him every day.
On the first day, a basket of lively Pipi shrimps was delivered.
The next day, three ridiculously fat swimming crabs arrived.
On the third day, it brought a group of dolphins. The dolphins drove a large group of silver hairtail fish into the shallow bay of the pier, as neatly as if they were waiting for roll call.
Lu Ming stood on the shore, and the purchase order in his hand almost fell into the sea.
"Are you helping me restock? But I don't have a fishing license!"
His ability is called "Umami Contract" and he can understand the voices of marine creatures and determine the best time to eat and handle the seafood. What the animals sent was not protected animals, but ordinary seafood within the legally fishable range, but of ridiculously high quality. Lu Ming did not dare to harvest randomly, so he could only go through the formalities, complete the filing, and find regular cooperative fishing boats, slowly turning the gray trouble into a legal supply chain.
The shop was revived as a result. Others sell seafood by shouting, but he sells seafood by ensuring the freshness to the minute. He knows when to steam crabs for their sweetest flavor, how thickly to cut hairtail for best frying, and how long to leave sea urchin out of water for the best flavor. At first, the customers were just looking for freshness, but later they found that after eating his fish, they would never taste better eating elsewhere.
Too tired to watch.
